Integrating Greenhouse Job Data with Slater

Introduction

Slater offers a flexible platform that allows you to build and manage web experiences, whether you're a coding expert or prefer using a no-code interface. This guide will help you integrate job data from the Greenhouse API into your Slater application using a script by Ben Parker.

Overview of the Script

The script is designed to dynamically fetch job data from the Greenhouse API and display it on your webpage. It consists of several key components:

  • DOM Element References: These include the main container, loading indicator, and job filter dropdown.
  • Data Fetching Function: Retrieves data from a specified URL and returns it in JSON format, with error handling for failed data fetches.
  • Job Filter Functionality: Updates the display of job sections based on user-selected filter values.
  • Loading Indicator: Provides visual feedback while data is being loaded.
  • Department Data Fetching: Retrieves department information from the API.
  • Job Data Fetching: Acquires job listings for each department.
  • DOM Updates: Dynamically creates and adds sections and job listings to the webpage.

How It Works

  1. Page Load

    • The initJob function is called to initiate the data-fetching process.

  2. Data Fetching

    • The script fetches departments and jobs from the Greenhouse API.

  3. DOM Updates

    • Sections for each department and corresponding job listings are dynamically created and added to the page.

  4. User Interaction

    • The filter dropdown allows users to select and view specific job sections.
